Wow! Each time I run another workshop something new always happens. The creativity and ideas each person has adds to the whole creating of the Highland cow. Participants get ideas from each other which they often include in their own model or tweak to make it slightly different. Sharon, Annette, Yulia, Kayla, Colleen, Carleen, Wendy, Sienna, Rosey, Jeremy, Barbara, Carlene, Tina- you all rock!
Hotpotz Studio- the hub of Hamurana - where not only can you purchase original beautiful hand thrown pottery by Rob, participate in a workshop with Rose but also meet the neighbours and/ or make new acquaintances/friends (or catch up with extended family! ❤️) Thank you for your participation ☺️

Are you looking for something a little out of the ordinary?
Visit Hotpotz Studio tomorrow - Saturday 2nd May 9am-5pm at 541 Hamurana Road, RD7, Rotorua.

Meet the bespoke “Roblets” — handthrown in Hamurana, Rotorua by local artisan Rob Powley. Each piece is individually crafted, making every Roblet completely unique — no two are ever the same.

Perfectly sized for your favourite pick-me-up: espresso, piccolo, latte, or long black… and just as suited to a cheeky whiskey or port at the end of the day.

Available boxed in sets of 2 or 4, these stunning cups showcase rich, layered glazes that simply can’t be captured in photos — they’re even more beautiful in your hands. Photos show samples.

A thoughtful gift for Mother’s Day… or an easy excuse to treat yourself.

Practical as well as beautiful — dishwasher and microwave safe.
